I don't enjoy Green scents too much, recommend me some scents, Green lovers!

[Sybarite]

I'll be trying this one soon at Sephora here.. "Leaf-zilla" haha... that is a cute name he thought of

It's an absolutely "spot-on" description for it too ! ... I doubt it could be described better !

[jathanas]

Green Valley, Green Irish Tweed

[Aerandir4]

Woah!, I turn my PC on and see over 30 replies! Good God thanks for the recommendations, I'm itching to try these out now. Its a shame Amouage haven't done anything Green because I would love to see a green rendition from them as well.

[ohhmygod]

I've noticed Parfum d'Habit mentioned a couple of times here, and at the risk of being an unwelcome gadfly, I'll state that while I adore Parfum d'Habit, I would not describe it as a "green" scent - more of a dark, mossy leather with lots of vetiver and earthy patchouli. It does to me evoke a conifer forest atmosphere, but not classic green herbaceous notes like galbanum, tomato leaf, basil, violet leaf, ivy, etc.

lol i just let my friend tested it and he said it smelled like powder at the start (really powdery ?). But yeah, because of your excellent review, my blind buy (PdH) turned out great.

Now Sybarite you better get urself ur bottle soon ! IMO this scent is really safe :- / Not risky as mentioned few times on this board.

I visited a department store in the UK not too long ago to try some of the dwindling MPG scents on offer and about 12 scents were on offer other than the ones I really wanted to try, Parfum d'Habit and Santal Noble

Creed Selection Verte is an awesome green fragrance....it starts with a mix of citrus and mint before the citrus fades away and the mint dominates from here on....I've read people mentioning some 'sweet pea' accord in it but I can't seem to be able to figure that out....

Must must try for anyone looking for a very fresh, clean green scent...

I just wish it was a bit easy to procure.

[nwatts88]

There are so many different types of green fragrances. What do you specifically dislike?

My favourites of the moment: Chanel's Bel Respiro is very crisp, clean and loosely floral. It has a very slight vegetal hint, but not in a damp, dank manner, rather fresh and bright. Another is Frederic Malle's French Lover, a far more zingy crushed vegetal fest, with a hint of smoky frankincense, a very wearable springtime fragrance.

[ebear]

Another vote for Creed Green Valley, and I'd like to add with great enthusiasm Creed Original Vetiver, the closest I've come to a sine qua non fragrance.

[Tonyprince]

Yerbamate smells like weeds and wildflowers in a way that nothing else I've tried does.
Devin is a nice crisp pine. Think Polo and Yatagan stripped down or Pino Silvestre made more complex.
Creed Original Vetiver. A nice green soapy vetiver.

[jss]

Eau de Campagne very very green.

[noggs]

I'd like to put in plugs for Jacques Fath Green Water and Brooksfield b.green.

And dont forget Amber Precieux as well. But Parfum d'Habit feels really green ^__^ And safe.

Green's are my absolute faves. Why I have not tried Mudassir's suggestion of Miller et Bertaux #3 Green, Green, Green and Green is silly, so now I simply must

Apologies for any repeats:

Balmain Vent Vert (original is killer green and available reasonably on ebay. 2nd formlation is my favourite and is available for a song online. Both would be great on a man or a woman- see my post for pics of the different bottles/formulations:
http://community.basenotes.net/showt...ight=vent+vert )

Estee Lauder Aliage or Azuree are both gorgeous dry greens.
Gucci Envy (women's) is a wet green
Chanel No19 is also nice but a bit cool for my taste
Creed Aubepine Acacia is a gorgeous green
Parfums de Nicolai Le Temps d'Une Fete is a chewy green delight (and 30ml bottles are around $40....)
Niki de Saint Phalle is a forest-y green chypre (cheap online!!)
Jacomo Silences is a dry sophisticated green, totally unappreciated imo
Sisley Eau de Campagne is totally fab, green wet and fresh

Matt, it's no joke, it's VERY green.

Matt, it's no joke, it's VERY green.

Thanks for letting me know bro... I'll be prepared! It's got me more curious now!

[mtgprox05]

Here are some more:
Gendarme Green: The greenest scent I have ever smelled
TDC Charmes et Feuilles: Floral herbs
CDG 3: Eccentricly synthetic space flower in a field of greens.
Frederic Malle Angeliques sous la Pluie: Best green scent I have smelled. Smells like a gin and tonic.
Armani Prive Vetiver Babylone: Vetiver, for vetiver haters. Very clean.
Le Labo Bergamotte 22: Woody green citrus.
Bond Bleecker Street: Sharp and sexy violets.
Bond Central Park: Similar to Vetiver Babylon with more citrus, not as good.
Heeley Eau de Verveine: Oddly "fizzy" green, slightly dirty.
Frederic Malle En Passant: Ethereal flowery green.
Fou d'Absinthe: Classic fougere.
Creed Green Valley and Original Vetiver
Stephanie de Saint-Aignan Li Altarelli: HERBAL-green.
Magnolia Romana: Elegant green-aquatic.
Philosykos: Figgy green.

[fraddicted]

Have decided I'm not really into green scent-wise, but Greenergy by Givenchy is reasonable and definitely fits the bill.

[Aerandir4]

I have to say that I am slowly becoming more interested in green scents but in a way I didn't expect at all-through rose scents! Especially Rose Muskissime by MPG, Rosa Flamenca by Parfums Rosine and Sa Majeste la Rose by Serge Lutens. Is anyone else taking a like to green scents albeit indirectly?

[Magnifiscent]

Just let me add to everything above mentioned
Paco Rabanne PH, a classic musky green fougère
Serge Lutens Chêne, a very sappy woody juice loaded with beeswax and black thyme

[jcrich]

Another one for Green Valley.

[miyeke]

you should try Halston 1-12 and Devin these

[Ken_Russell]

Knize Forest, Horizon by Guy Laroche, Greenenergy by Givenchy, Gucci Nobile and Agua de Loewe

[PhinClio]

For an inexpensive but first-rate designer green, try Balmain de Balmain (marketed to women, but a truly unisex green chypre).

[JaimeB]

Knize Forest, Horizon by Guy Laroche, Greenenergy by Givenchy, Gucci Nobile and Agua de Loewe

I was looking through these posts to see if and when somebody would mention the beautiful, but now criminally discontinued Gucci Nobile:

Gucci
Nobile
(1988)
Givaudan
Jean-Charles Niel
Green Herbal Chypre
------------------
Top Notes: Bergamot, Lemon, Lavender, Rosemary, Tarragon, Mace
Middle Notes: Jasmine, Green Notes, Rose, Cyclamen, Carnation, Geranium, Fir
Base Notes: Cedar, Patchouli, Sandal, Tonka Bean, Musk, Moss, Vetiver, Amber
------------------
An incredible green chypre for men. Why this was ever discontinued is a great mystery to me. It is one of the best of its kind. The herbal notes — rosemary, lavender, and tarragon — take the lead, and are soon reinforced by a galbanum accord in the heart. The citrus, herbals, and spice in the top notes are transformed by the florals in the heart and a classic woody chypre drydown lingers with subtle green hues persisting until the end. If only it weren't so difficult to find! I have one bottle in reserve, and then... pfft!

I llooooovvvveee this list~

[MFJ]

I recently fell in love with Parfum d'Empire's Eau de Gloire.... green citrus-chypre...

[megatropolis]

Angeliques sous la Pluie.......is the Best...and Bleeker by BOND!!!!

[kumquat]

A good crossover scent, in other words, not an uber-green scent, is Lauren Polo Green original. It has some patchouli in the base and it has nice deep development.

[seasoldiermarine]

I agree with Nobile
Polo
Paco Rabanne PH

[shamu1]

Original Vetiver by Creed is so damn green you can taste it. It's the greenest smelling frag I've ever smelled.
